Madrid Past and Future Shape a City of Contrasts
The article surveys Madrid’s fusion of Moorish remnants with modern skyscrapers, from Gran Via to Alcala and the Circulo de Bellas Artes. It traces rapid postwar growth, the Ciudad Universitaria project, and clashes between tradition and progress, all under a democratic, vivid urban life seen from the rooftops above La Prensa.
